Byron Katie

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.

The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image

Byron Katie
Image
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
